An exclusive collaboration between Leica Camera and Italian luxury fashion house Ermenegildo Zegna has been announced, with the Italian luxury fashion brand creating a capsule collection of high-end camera accessories, possibly the most refined to date.
This capsule collection first made its debut in January 2020 on the runway of the Ermenegildo Zegna XXX Winter 2020 Fashion Show, and is now finally available! Designed for the modern photographer who is in search of the most beautiful image while being equally attentive to the subtle details of handmade craftsmanship, the collaboration strengthens the link between two expressions of art and creativity, reflecting a broader dialogue between the two brands.
Zegna Artistic Director Alessandro Sartori, a photography enthusiast and authentic Leica lover, has always been inspired by photography as a creative language that he often visually uses as a reference for his collections. His own passion led Zegna to a collaboration with Leica built upon the mutual expression of creativity and innovation, craftsmanship and technicality which further cements Zegna’s reputation as a global luxury lifestyle brand.
The collaboration collection consists in pelletessuta camera holsters made for Leica Q2 and Leica M cameras; pelletessuta protectors for Leica Q2; functional crossbody bags called Insta-Packs, inspired by photographers’ attitude that fit almost all Compact Leica cameras (Leica V-Lux excluded) and the Leica CL with the 18mm ‘pancake’ Leica lens; carrying and wrist straps; Leica keyrings and round wallets (both for coins or the Leica Q2 lens cap) that feature luxury details and the precious touch of pelletessuta collection, an iconic Zegna special woven nappa leather, result of an innovative Ermenegildo Zegna research aimed to recreate precious fabric using extremely thin strips of selected nappa leather in place of fabric yarns.
The Leica and Zegna Collaboration collection is distributed globally in an exclusive selection of Zegna Flagship Stores (such as New York City, Paris, London, Milan, Dubai, Shanghai, Beijing, Ginza, Isetan) as well as in 60 selected Leica Stores worldwide including Singapore.
The Collaboration collection is also available online on leica-camera.com and zegna.com.
